They may be able to advise something.
Wow! Excellent work! Would you not want to make this an official KDE project and get the full support from KDE?
Most KDE projects are acts of (dare I say it) love 💘 . People start projects, contribute to them, and maintain them, because they love them. The original spark may be need, an itch that needs scratching, but what keeps a project going is the thought that “wouldn’t it be fun if…”.
So that’s your first reason.
The second reason is that the status quo doesn’t stay the same forever. You are right: support for Linux on streaming for Linux users sucks and is often deliberately fked. But the status quo of, say games on Linux… oh, what? Five years ago? Also sucked and was deliberately fked, and look now.
KDE is not a company. It’s contributors do not have to adhere to schedules or the current status quo. They can wait and improve as they wait. Very often the work they put into pays off in the future for the benefit of everybody.
And that is reason number 2.
OP, you can help people avoid visiting the Nazi site by using XCancel:
Please do not spread FUD. It’s not “in KDE Discover”. It is on some distro’s repository. What a distro let’s on their repository is not KDE’s responsibility.
Please submit a bug report to https://bugs.kde.org/
Yes, absolutely. Go for it, please.
Yes, but not very useful for our use case. We want to copy things super simple.
Not cheap. €50 for ten, but they are re-usable, so…
? These will be used by the Spanish KDE team and have been made by said team. They are not to be distributed or left lying around or anything like that.
Off topic much?
Lovely to hear. Thanks! We hope you enjoy it and please give us feedback so we can improve.
That is so kind. Danke!
Sorry. It shows up on Mastodon, but not here.
Here you go:
You are lacking the same skill as us mods: the capacity of being funny.
A team of people who are very professional and competent at something.
and Microsoft will patch it anyway
… Or not. That is the point of ending support: they are not obligated to anything like that.
You may be missing the point.
The point is Microsoft wants to (again) force/trick/scam people into buying new hardware. Whether they are lying or not, whether there is a workaround or not, is not the point.
The point is the #Endof10 campaign wants to help people exit this cycle of spending, polluting and tech blackmail Microsoft subjects its users to by offering them an out, helping them switch to Free Software systems. Things like Plasma on Linux are perfectly adequate nowadays for most people—and notice the “most”, please: I know there will always be edge cases that can’t migrate
But, for most people, with a Linux system decked out with a modern desktop and applications? They will find all they need to carry on being productive on their current machines.
Whoops! Thanks & corrected.
